Dear comrades in zopeness: For some time now I have been struggling trying to get Zope to talk to Postgres. I am now nearly successful and hope that the revolutionary spirit of fellow zopatistas will carry the day. Background: Debian 2.1r2 on a PII 600 or so (the machine is pretty loaded) Postgres 7.0.3 Python 1.5.2 PoPy 1.4.1 ZPoPyDA 0.7 The most recent vexation is simple: after expanding ZPoPyDA.0.7.tar.gz (dl'ed from www.zope.org/Members/tm), there is no configure file and no Makefile. Like many products, it just expands out into lib/python/Products/ZPoPyDA/*. However, the README file says to run "./configure; make; make install". In an acronym, WTF? Bonus question: I had a terrible time with installing PoPy itself until I modified the makefile to have a second -I argument going back to the source (.../postgres-7.0.3/src/include). One or the other (the source or the installed include, that is) would result in various missing *.h files. Did I install postgres incorrectly? There was no .../include/catalog directory at all in the installed directories, which PoPy wanted. I eagerly anticipate any clues, and thank everyone for their attention. --JB
